Moral of the story

Emi and Mai have been given the task of thinking of a story with a moral in communication class.

...

Emi: The news always has good stories.


Mai: That one, that one about the baby dropped from the third floor.


Emi: I know, and it landed in the net and didn’t cry, like nothing had happened.


Mai: Weak moral though.


Emi. Ignorance is bliss?


Mai: Maybe. How about the one about the twenty elderly people caught in a bus in a flood.


Emi: They all drowned?


Mai: They cut up the curtains and made a rope and climbed out onto the roof.


Emi: Necessity is the mother of invention?


Mai: That’ll do.
